My Firstborn

Today is my oldest's birthday. Kalyssa turns 11 years old today! I cannot believe it, I mean really really not believe that I have a pre-teen! Are you kidding me?

Kalyssa has always been our easy child (for the most part). When she was a baby, she slept through the night almost right away, she never cried, she took great naps, she was a happy baby, she ate good, she never got into anything. I'm not lying when I say I never childproofed anything with Kalyssa. She was such an easy going baby/toddler. And she still is a pretty easy going kid. I don't usually have to worry about Kalyssa getting into trouble or being irresponsible.

She can however irritate her sister to no end, and she thinks she's being sneaky like I can't see or hear her torturing her sister.

Kalyssa is responsible, smart, funny, artistic, grounded, curious. It's fun to watch her turn into a little lady. She's not such a little girl anymore.
